I have written a custom package provider for the pkgutil utility on
Solaris 10. Pkgutil replaces pkg-get which is not deprecated. All I
did was modify the Blastwave provider to use pkgutil instead of pkg-
get. I''ve tried two approaches to get the provider on to the client.
First, I created a plugin. I created a module called package to
contain the plugin. The only file in the plugin is:
/etc/puppet/modules/package/plugins/puppet/provider/pkgutil/pkgutil.rb
The plugin syncs just fine to the client and the pkgutil.rb file is
placed in /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/pkgutil/
However, puppetd does not see the provider and the compilation of the
manifest fails with "Parameter provider failed: Invalid package
provider ''pkgutil'' "
The second thing I tried is to create a file resource placing the
pkgutil.rb file in to the proper place on the client. Then I added a
require parameter as a default parameter to the package resource.
However, this didn''t work either. My manifest looks like this:
Package {
provider => "pkgutil",
require => File["/opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
puppet-0.24.7/lib/puppet/provider/package/pkgutil.rb"],
}
file {"/opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/puppet-0.24.7/lib/puppet/
provider/package/pkgutil.rb":
ensure => present,
source => "puppet://puppet/files/pkgutil.rb",
}
Puppetd doesn''t seem to execute the require when it encounters a
package resource such as samba. So I get the "Parameter provider
failed: Invalid package provider ''pkgutil'' " error.
This seems oddly similar to this issue which doesn''t seem to be
solved:

Any ideas?

Two questions Can we see the provider code? (specifically the line that starts the block) Does it work on the next pass? Also, for the plugin the dir structure should end ''package/pkgutil.rb'' Andrew On 12/31/08, Carl Caum <carl.caum@gmail.com> wrote:> I have written a custom package provider for the pkgutil utility on > Solaris 10.
